looking for the InCylinder folder

Hi Christian,

you want to create one more facet-geometry like facetBox or facetCylinder, or you want to create a new geometry of body like box or cylinders?

Anton

Hi Anton,

Sorry that I answer so late! I need a new geometry like a box or a cylinder and it should be a cone.

You will have to implement this. It would an interesting feature!
It needs to define normal, penetration depth, contact point, and shear velocity at contacts between cone and spheres.

Hi,
i already implemented some code into the _pack Predicates.cpp-file, but i do not know, which file i have to change as well?

To start with that, you can take an example of shape and see how it is
defined. Let us consider boxes:
- Box.hpp/cpp
- Bo1_Box_Aabb.*

Then interactions with boxes:
- Ig2_Box_Sphere_ScGeom.*

Basically, you need to write the same code for cones. There is no
obligation to split in three files, you can write everything in one hpp
and one cpp if it is more convenient.
A few other things can be also in separate functions, like computing the
mass and inertia matrix of arbitrary cone, but it is not required for
testing (you can always assign inertia in the testing script).

Thank you! I will try to create it. Afterwards i will give a response if it works

Good luck!
You may start with paper and pen, to define unit normal, contact point, penetration depth and shear velocity at sphere-cone contacts.
The rest is only implementation, we can assist you for this last step.

First of all i created a new hpp and a new cpp file named cone.hpp and cone.cpp with the same code like in the cylinder.hpp and cylinder.cpp to check if it is still working, when i only changed the name. Furthermore, i implemented the following code into the _packPredicates.cpp file:

class inCone: public Predicate{
 Vector3r c1,c2,c12; Real radius,ht;
public:
 inCone(const Vector3r& _c1, const Vector3r& _c2, Real _radius){c1=_c1; c2=_c2; c12=c2-c1; radius=_radius; ht=c12.norm(); }
 bool operator()(const Vector3r& pt, Real pad=0.) const {
  Real u=(pt.dot(c12)-c1.dot(c12))/(ht*ht); // normalized coordinate along the c1--c2 axis
  if((u*ht<0+pad) || (u*ht>ht-pad)) return false; // out of cylinder along the axis
  Real axisDist=((pt-c1).cross(pt-c2)).norm()/ht;
  if(axisDist>radius-pad) return false;
  return true;
 }
 py::tuple aabb() const {
  // see http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=338522&forum_id=20&gforum_id=0 for the algorithm
  const Vector3r& A(c1); const Vector3r& B(c2);
  Vector3r k(
   sqrt((pow(A[1]-B[1],2)+pow(A[2]-B[2],2)))/ht,
   sqrt((pow(A[0]-B[0],2)+pow(A[2]-B[2],2)))/ht,
   sqrt((pow(A[0]-B[0],2)+pow(A[1]-B[1],2)))/ht);
  Vector3r mn=A.cwise().min(B), mx=A.cwise().max(B);
  return vvec2tuple((mn-radius*k).eval(),(mx+radius*k).eval());
 }
};

 py::class_<inCone,py::bases<Predicate> >("inCone","Cone predicate",py::init<const Vector3r&,const Vector3r&,Real>(py::args("centerBottom","centerTop","radius"),"Ctor taking centers of the lateral walls (as 3-tuples) and radius."));

what is the same code as for inCylinder

But when i want to create an inCone with the following code:

from yade import pack
pred=pack.inCone(centerBottom=(0,0,-.1),centerTop=(0,0,.1),radius=.05)

i get the following error:

AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)

/usr/lib/yade-daily/py/yade/__init__.pyc in <module>()
----> 1
      2
      3
      4
      5

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'inCone'

and iḿ not sure what i have to do, because there isnt any direction and file like this
/usr/lib/yade-daily/py/yade/__init__.pyc

which is

Just short comments before looking the details:
1- there is no need to implement anything in packPredicates in order to add a new shape. The classes I listed above are enough.
2- the word "cylinder" in packPredicates does not refer to the class defined in Cylinder.hpp/cpp, they are really independant things. So, if you want to test that simple renaming of "cylinder" shape works, better don't play with predicates at all.

For the error you get: did you declare a python binding as in _packPredicates.cpp:342?

python::class_<inCylinder,python::bases<Predicate> >("inCylinder","Cylinder predicate",python::init<const Vector3r&,const Vector3r&,Real>(python::args("centerBottom","centerTop","radius"),"Ctor taking centers of the lateral walls (as 3-tuples) and radius."));

If yes, does is work if you type:
pred=pack.inCylinder(...

Else, you maybe forgot to import the relevant module.

Thank you for your fast answer,

yes i declared a phyton binding like the phyton binding for cylinder:

 py::class_<inCylinder,py::bases<Predicate> >("inCylinder","Cylinder predicate",py::init<const Vector3r&,const Vector3r&,Real>(py::args("centerBottom","centerTop","radius"),"Ctor taking centers of the lateral walls (as 3-tuples) and radius."));
 py::class_<inCone,py::bases<Predicate> >("inCone","Cone predicate",py::init<const Vector3r&,const Vector3r&,Real>(py::args("centerBottom","centerTop","radius"),"Ctor taking centers of the lateral walls (as 3-tuples) and radius."));

and when i type:
pred=pack.inCylinder(... it is still working. I get this error only when i try it with inCone.

Ah ok, when there is not a need to implement it in packPredicate, is there another command what i can use?

For the error, you should double check names, make sure you run the version you just compiled, etc. There must be a small mistake somewhere.

For the "another command" part. Just don't use predicates. Create a cone, place a sphere inside it, add gravity, run. This would be your test script for testing the cone shape.

Is it possible, that i can not create new code because i use yade-daily? Or is there a command, which i have to type inside the terminal to compile the new code? i took a look for a command at the manual and the homepage, but i can not find anything.

If you don't compile it cannot work...
How did you obtain the source code files you are modifying?
Check this: https://www.yade-dem.org/doc/installation.html#source-code

i followed the installation advice and downloaded all prerequisites. Afterwards i wrote into the terminal:

sudo apt-get install scons freeglut3-dev libloki-dev \
libboost-date-time-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-thread-dev \
libboost-regex-dev fakeroot dpkg-dev build-essential g++ \
libboost-iostreams-dev liblog4cxx10-dev python-dev libboost-python-dev ipython \
python-matplotlib libsqlite3-dev python-numpy python-tk gnuplot doxygen \
libgts-dev python-pygraphviz libvtk5-dev python-scientific bzr bzrtools libeigen2-dev \
binutils-gold python-xlib python-qt4 pyqt4-dev-tools \
libqglviewer-qt4-dev python-imaging libjs-jquery python-sphinx

and it was still working.

Now i am a little bit confused because i read:

If you prefer to use the newest yade version and you do not "hack" the code, yade-daily is the best choice for you.
Installed once, you will get the updates automatically without recompiling the code.
Yade-daily is compiled automatically on build-servers of Launchpad, getting the code from the latest trunk version.

Or is there also a possibility to compile it an my computer?

>If you prefer to use the newest yade version and you do not "hack" the code

You ARE hacking the code. You need to read the "source code" paragraph that I linked above.

Hi,

now I tried t install yade-0.70.0 with the following comment:

scons PREFIX=yade-0.70.0/YADE-0.70.0 and I got the following error:

Check `/home/ubuntu/build-0.70.0/config.log' for possible causes, note that there are options that you may need to customize:

Afterwards I downloaded different versions of boost, because there are some problems with boost, but I can not handle it in this way. Is there a special way to fix the problem with boost?

How did you install boost? From packages or by compiling from the source?

Anton

After I downloaded it I installed boost from packages for yade-daily first.

Is there no possibility to handle this problem?

if it is helpful i can add the error message from the config.log :

It seems that there is a problem with boost program-options

The problem is here:

/usr/bin/ld: error: cannot find -lboost_program_options-mt

I googled your problem, maybe this can help you:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/problem-linking-with-boost-libraries-872970/

it has something to do with libboost ... I dont know, just guessing ...

If it helps, I can send you output from "aptitude search libboost", but i am using debian, so package names can be different on your ubuntu linux ...

Now i solved my problem. Thank you for your help!
